jewelry, wood crafts and sewn items. And then there’s the history. Members of the Horace Greeley Foundation will provide attendees with insight on the famed journalist and abolitionist and the Poultney 250th anniversary trolley will be hand. Don Thompson, author of several books about the Castleton-Bomoseen area will discuss local history and organizers are hoping to display Civil War period medical equipment and tools from the re-enactors with the Civil War Medical Coalition.
The historical society will also provide tours of the Marble Mansion for a small fee. Built in 1867 from local marble mines, the building is one of the oldest in Fair Haven.

The Historical Society will also be selling shirts, mugs and books, and will provide advice about genealogy research. Admission to the event is completely free and will be held rain or shine.
of volunteers who helped paint, spackle, sweep and clean, has shown a tremendous commitment to see the Market open. In particular, we are indebted to: Paul and Marcia Fonteyn, our generous landlords and staunch supporters; GMC Professor Lucas Brown, who designed our original floor plan; Tom Sykes, the General Contractor who worked tirelessly on the building’s renovations, Bob Williams of Williams Hardware, who donated the bulk of the shelving, Jane Duda, of Roaring Brook Design, whose writing and graphic design helped us pull together our fundraising efforts and public image. Also, more than 25 local residents provided start-up loans. We are overwhelmed by the support shown by the community, and look forward to becoming an active participant in the local economy.” Kris Jacoby-Stevenson, president of Stone Valley Market’s board of directors, notes, “The co-op is a modern take on an old concept—a store where folks can get the staples they need for their larders, from fresh local
produce, meats, baked goods and dairy products, to responsibly produced canned goods and other non-perishable groceries; high-quality loose bulk foods such as flour, beans, grains and spices for economical shopping; alternative health and bodycare products, Fair Trade goods, and environmentally-friendly cleaning products. Located in a historic building at 216 Main Street (across from the library), Stone Valley Market welcomes young and old to shop, volunteer or attend programs. Membership is encouraged, and members, who join at either the $20 annual rate or a one-time Market Partnership of $300 (lifetime membership), receive co-operative benefits, including members-only sales and coupons. Additionally, Member Workers and Board Members receive discounts.

Satin and Steel to perform Tuesday in Castleton Satin and Steel, a band made up of long-time Castleton residents, will return to the Castleton Concert Series by popular demand at 7 p.m., Tuesday, July 26 on the Castleton Green. The high energy, nine-piece act with five horns includes two
trumpets, two saxophones and a trombone. It’s this special horn section, together with a “smokin” four-piece rhythm section, that creates the unique signature of the band. The group specializes in a big-band sound that features a
high energy format, tight funky horn section, and crisp vocal harmonies similar to the classic groups like Chicago, Tower of Power, Earth Wind and Fire, Blood Sweat and Tears, James Brown, The Blues Brothers and Santana. They have one CD out right now, which includes one of their original songs “Make Your Move” featured in the movie “Diamond Run”. Rob Henrichon (guitar), Brad Morgan (keyboard), and Bill Comstock (saxophone) have been playing together for more than 25 years. The remaining members include, Tom Boise (drums), Brian Hobbs (bass), Peter Giancola (saxophone), Bear Irwin (trombone), and Dave McKenzie (trumpet). The concert is free and open to the public. It will perform rain or shine. Rain site is the Tent on the Castleton State College campus. For further information, please call, (802) 273-2911

Classic car show coming to Fair Haven The shine of freshly waxed chrome and the growl of a full bodied engine will take center stage next weekend as the community of Fair Haven hosts the Vermont Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce 6th Annual Classic Auto Show. The annual show will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 30, in and around the Town Green. Besides showcasing a range of cars and trucks representing nearly 80 years of automotive history, the show will also feature food, music and raffles. Four-wheeled vehicles won’t be the only motor propelled automobiles on display however. “The one thing we’re doing different this year is we are adding motorcycles,” chamber member Sharon Parke said. “We had some motorcycle people who made the comment last year that it would be nice to have motorcycles.” So in addition to muscle cars and mud trucks, spectators will have the chance to see vintage motorcycles, ranging from Indians to Harley Davidson’s. Parke said last year’s show attracted more than 80 cars and organizers are hoping for even more than that this year. They included old race cars, muscle cars, modern day sport car, coupes, and jacked up trucks and jeeps in addition to
many classic vehicles. “We’ve had some really old cars. There were even a few old Model T’s,” Parke said. “Some have really fancy paint jobs. We had one car with a complete eagle painted on it.” Unlike many car shows that are split into different classes, the Lakes Region event is an open class show, meaning every vehicle competes for awards against every other vehicle entered in the show. Awards last year included: “Best Wheels,” “Best Paint,” “Best Interior,” “Best Engine Compartment,” and more. And of course, there’s the always popular People’s Choice Award selected by show attendees and a Best in Show award selected by a small panel of judges. Besides stylish cars, there will also be a number of vendors serving up their wares and some food to eat. Organizers try to encourage many of the vendors from Spring Fling to return for the car show. Perhaps the most popular food attraction is the Fair Haven Rotary Barbecue which benefits the organization’s charitable endeavors.
But you don’t need to wait until the day of the event to enjoy some food. For the first time, American Legion Post #49 will host a Buffet Dinner and Dance in conjunction with the car show. The picnic style dance will be held at the legion post from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 29. The buffet will include grilled steak and chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and “all the fixings,” Parke said. Local band Sweetwater will kick off the dancing portion of the event at 7 p.m. Tickets to the dinner and dance cost $10 ($8 in advance) or $5 for the dance only. Admission to the car show is free and the street on the backside of the park will be blocked off for the automobiles on display. There will several auto-related raffles and kids will receive a free Stewart’s Shop Ice Cream certificate. The cost to register a car is $10 in advance and $15 the day of. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and judging of vehicles will begin at 1 p.m. For more information, call the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce at 265-8600.

Poultney Shakespeare 2011
Junior group presents 'As You Like It' By Catherine M. Oliverio The Poultney Summer Theatre Company’s Junior Company of Shakespeare on Main Street presents William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” at 2 p.m., Saturday and Sunday July 30 and 31, 7 p.m., Thursday, August 4, and 2 p.m., Saturday, August 6. All performances with intermission will be held at the Ackley Theatre, Green Mountain College, Poultne. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children. As with “Romeo & Juliet 1958”, the audience will be sitting at the stage’s apron, alongside the stage producing a three-quarter round and intimate setting. During rehearsal Meitrott made it very clear to the members of the youth company that they were doing very well together, and he emphasized the need to take risks and not to worry. “Sometimes mistakes can actually make a production better,” said Meitrott. Brockton Corbett, who is playing Orlando said, “This is my first play, and I feel that the cast members have been very

supportive of each other. The show will be great, since we work so well together.” Alexis Hill portrays Duke Senior and Adam. “Shakespeare is so different, the poetry of lines, that the audience would love to hear what we have to offer through our acting.” Kate Harrison performs as Celia, the daughter of Duke Frederick. “I really enjoy Celia, because it’s fun to act like a spoiled brat. You must come see how the characters and Shakespeare’s personalities come to life.” Gary Meitrott, artistic director, and the JCSOMS have raised the bar. “All are following the lead and enthusiasm of Rosalind actor, Emma Baker, with such depth,” said Meitrott. “I’m expecting this cast to knock your socks off ” Jaques, performed by Brianna Thomas, said, “I find this production really educational, and it builds character.” She felt that with the Shakespearean language, “You have to articulate and really think about what you’re saying.” Meghan Wood portrays Phoebe, as well as Lord Amiens. She said, “The performance will be incredible!” The other cast members include Destinee Gray, Touchstone; Leslie Hixon, Oliver and Le Beau; Torri Hixon, Duke Frederick and Audrey; David Waller, Silvius; and Bill Cruikshank, Charles the wrestler. Acknowledgements for the donated rehearsal and theatre space are also the same as “Romeo & Juliet 1958," listed in accompanying story.

Justin Enzor and Sierra Carter rehearse " Romeo & Juliet 1958" for Poultney Theatre Company.
Offering a twist on Romeo & Juliet By Catherine M. Oliverio
The Poultney Summer Theatre Company Shakespeare on Main Street senior company presents “Romeo & Juliet 1958” at 7 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 29 to 31, 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, August 5 and 6, and 2 p.m., Sunday, August 7. All performances, with intermission, will be held at the Ackley Theatre, Green Mountain College, Poultney, Vt. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children. Opening night, the program will begin with 1950 cars adorning the GMC campus and Poultney’s Main Street. Gary Meitrott, artistic director, has gathered a multi-talented cast. The mystique and romance of “the star-crossed lovers” Romeo and Juliet set in 1958 will appeal to all. The music and dancing will have everyone energized and involved. “The audience will be sitting at the stage’s apron, alongside the stage producing a threequarter round setting,” said Meitrott, “It’s very intimate,
and that’s the way I like it!” Audience interaction impacts the show and will characterize a close and thorough acquaintance. Sierra Carter, who portrays Juliet, said, “It’s amazing that Shakespeare can be put into any time and make sense. It has been insightful as to what went on in that era and how women became more independent. I’m truly excited about this year’s production involving the audience on the stage with us.” Caroline Hogan, acting as Lady Capulet stated, “I love this experience! This is the first character I’ve gotten that is emotionally dense. Comparing Lady Capulet to other roles is like a sculpture versus a paper doll.” Nurse actor is Elizabeth Karet, and she has been acting since eight years old. “The talent of the cast and young people is tremendous! The comedy is right on, and it’s great for me being back in the 50’s.” On her second day, Charlene Mead playing Lady Montague and Peter said, “It’s really exciting and a different setup than I’m used to in past performanc-

es. The show is going to be amazing!” Romeo’s portrayer, Justin Enzor remarked, “This is the first time working with Gary, and it’s quite a different experience. Gary has so much energy, and he brings that out in all of us. Come to the show—it will be great!” National Guard Dana Sedelnick will perform Tybalt and Paris. Through his honesty he said that if the director were not his friend, he would not have done the show. “I’m here to support Gary’s endeavor, so that you could be you. After performing I’m off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where I’ll be stationed until Dec.” Mercutio and the Prince are enacted by Ernest Klepeis. He said, “No one can do Shakespeare like Gary. He’s the reason I’m here—I’m glad he coerced me to join.” The rest of the cast includes Christine Blust, Benvolio; Judith Edelstein, Sister Lawrence; Tommy Alden, Capulet; and Ryan Dixon, Montague, Apothecary, and Abram. “Thanks so much for the donated rehearsal space of the Fox Hill Art Center,” said Meitrott, “as well as the donated use of the GMC Ackley Theatre. Many thanks also to Jeanne Root, assistant to the GMC president Paul Fonteyn, Williams Hardware, Poultney Rotary Club, Hills & Hollows Grant, Stewart’s Grant, Modern Woodmen of America, Bill Cruikshank, our set designer, and Ryan Dixon the designer of the programs, posters, and postcards. Thanks to all others who have donated their time and energy in making this a production a reality.” For further information, please Judith Edelstein at (802) 287-0158.

The Town Public Works Department and Fair Haven High School have contributed services. The new Slate Valley Teen Center has volunteered help toward a successful evening., our ninth National Night Out.

Cancer Means… Taking Nothing for Granted
For me, cancer means taking nothing for granted. I received my cancer diagnosis shortly after celebrating my 53rd birthday. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Adjusting to appointments, tests & treatments was exhausting for me and my family. I worried about time away from work, loss of income, and everything I had to put on hold. My loved ones provided the support system I needed to address these concerns, while the Foley Cancer Center supported me with truly compassionate care using the latest technology. My doctors discussed every aspect of my treatment with me and mobilized the very best people and resources to provide me with first-class treatment right here at home. If you are facing cancer, take nothing for granted and conquer your diagnosis. For me, that meant putting my faith in the support of my loved ones and my trust in the caring professionals at Rutland Regional’s Foley Cancer Center.

Rick's Ride rolls July 30 to benefit several charities By Matthew Rice The seventh annual Rick’s Ride is set to roll out of Granville with a roar on August 30. After years of organizing the annual motorcycle ride to raise funds for the American Heart Association and local charities, LuAnn Vogel-Stanley said the event comes together smoothly. “We’re like a well-oiled machine now; everybody has their things to do,” VogelStanley said. Vogel-Stanley’s brother, Richard A. ‘Rick’ Vogel, died from a heart attack and inspired family members to start the fundraising charity ride in his name, which was almost seven years and about $21,000 ago. “It’s been a great healing experience for our whole family and a lot of fun as well,” VogelStanley said. Now, everyone pitches in to get the ride moving, but VogelStanley said she can still use
some help. With the economy as a consideration, she said the plan this year is to simplify. “I’m probably going back to the basics this year and doing most of the cooking myself and not go on the ride,” she said. The date for the annual heart-related motorcycle ride and barbecue is Aug. 30 this year. Registration begins at noon and the ride returns to where it started - the Knights of Columbus Hall on East Potter Avenue - about 4:30 p.m. for chicken barbecue, raffles and prize drawings. The rain-or-shine ride’s fee remains the same, VogelStanley said, registration will be $15 per person. With food costs jumping up, Vogel-Stanley said, ride organizers had to increase their entry fees to be able to raise any money last year and this year they plan to hold the line. The cost of the commemorative T-shirts remains $15. “I want to make it a fun time that doesn’t cost a lot so maybe if people think it’s a cheap goof time they’ll donate,” VogelStanley said. Even with keeping costs low, the end product has not been any less and the ride has seen increased success each year. “We have raised around $18,000 in the last six years, most of which was donated
Participants in Rick's Ride gather at the Knights of Columbus off Potter Avenue. locally and to the American Heart Association,” she said.
The ride could not happen without numerous volunteers and sponsors, she said. “A big thanks to all of you who donated your time or money or prizes each year,” Vogel-Stanley said. “Without your help, none of this would be possible.” Each year sees a substantial turnout despite other events

taking place and other rides people could go to, but riders keep turning out at Rick’s Ride. “We are hope for the same or better each year,” Vogel-Stanley said. “It still amazes me that so many people come.” Former Granville resident Richard A. “Rick” Vogel died prematurely at the age of 53 from a heart attack.
